In How the South Won the Civil War, historian Heather Cox Richardson argues that democracy鈥檚 blood-soaked victory was ephemeral. The system that had sustained the defeated South moved westward and established a foothold there. The South and West both depended on extractive industries鈥攃otton in the former and mining, cattle, and oil in the latter鈥攇iving rise to a new birth of white male oligarchy, despite the guarantees provided by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
